Invest in a diversified fund for the long term

Dear Mr. Tan,
I have just opened an investment account with fund supermart. I wish to begin my first investment in unit trust. I am an moderate aggressive player and high returns are important to me. I am willing to take higher risks for significantly higher returns over time (above 10% p.a.). I am willing to take the risk of downside around 20% in 1 year. Can you please provide me with some suggestion on what fund to invest in the year 2008?

REPLY
My advise is to invest in low cost, diversified funds. You can aim for a more modest target of 6% to 8% p.a. for the long term. You have to deduct about 1% to cover the expenses.
